Sleekster appears to have a pretty good looking light bar setup. This one can mount the 4 round lights or a bar. Has anyone had any experience with this specific part or have one you like?

That looks like the Randy Ellis Designs bar. I've been watching for it to be available since the summer.

These RAM 2500 Light Bar Sleekster light bars are durable, frame mounted and rigidly hold your choice of lights. You can mount 4 lights up to 9” in diameter with ease. The light bar is made from CNC mandrel bent 1 ¾” .120 wall steel tube, CNC cut and formed brackets and light tabs.

I'm interested in getting this myself, and I'm wondering if it interferes with the front parking sensors or front camera. Can anyone confirm?

It looks like it should clear both, but I'd like to find out for sure before ordering it.

Parking sensors aren't impacted. You will see it in the camera, and depending on what kind of lights/light bar you put on, they'll reduce some of the visibility.
 
Maybe this isn't the direction you're going, but why not consider a brush guard? I installed a SteelCraft guard on my 2500 and I like it alot. Plus it's added protection against whatever deer/wildlife jump out in front of me. I paid about $420 for mine and did the install myself in the driveway. Mine also has a removable section if your truck has the front facing camera.

How study is it? I would like one for mine, but need it to hold up to an impact and have tow hooks or be able to keep mine.
Was kinda eyeballing a ranchhand

It'll hold up to a deer or something of that size. You can leave your factory tow hooks installed, I just was hoping to replace mine with some aftermarket options down the road. I'll probably just paint mine and re-install until then.

I think my SteelCraft is as good as the ranch hand on my dads duramax. I've also looked at other options and noted some have thinner bent flatbar type mounts. The SC is actual boxed plate. My only complaint is I'm still having a hard time finding a light bar I like that'll fit the guard. I'm now leaning towards two smaller bars.

Thank you
 

Nice light bar set up. They also just jacked the price up over 25% since you posted. See below:​

Dodge/RAM 2019-2021 2500/3500 Light Bar 34201 - Satin Black​

$378.99 - $411.99
**EXPECTED TO SHIP 7/12/21**

 
Whoa!! Wish I hadn't dragged my feet.
I think I am gonna hold off for a bit. This thread getting revived had me planning to purchase this week.
 
Wanted to order one of the Ellis Light Bars yesterday on the Black Friday Special to get the discount on the lights.
There is two different styles of this light bar posted on their website. One that is even with the bumper like in the picture
of the black truck and one that is quite a bit above the bumper like in the picture of the silver truck. Was hoping the
Customer Service at Ellis could tell me what light bar I would receive when I ordered but the girl didn't seem too
interested in finding out for me. Guess I am going to have to get one made local because I want a bar that is even with the
Top of the bumper like the black truck. Anybody know of any other options?

Reviving an old thread. Has anyone installed or tried this light bar?

I just ordered this BajaDesigns setup. I don’t have a ton of room when it’s parked in the garage, a brush bar might make me too long. This seems nice and compact and they’re great lights.

Do you have a picture installed?

I would imagine there is an impressive light output with that price tag.

Love it, but 2K puts it out of my range!

I will once I get it. They are 6-8 weeks out I hear. Big price, but they are awesome lights. Will make a post with in for once I get them and they are installed. There are some videos on YouTube of non-Ram installs that show them better.

yea, price is a little steep. Install seems fairly easy, other than removing the front bumper.

I was looking at them. For $500 less, you could get the regular lights and build your own bracket and wiring instead of using their custom bracket that goes on the ends.

BD make some good lights. Also been looking at KC as well.

Been thinking about bending my own bar that mounts to the bumper, old school pre runner style. ;)
 
I’d just assume have their brackets for since I don’t fab. The wiring though I will adjust as I have factory AUX switches and will leverage that.
